The scary part isn't just that they're scanning for CSAM — it's that the infrastructure is designed to be expanded.
Once AI-driven client-side scanning is normalized, it won't stop at child abuse. It will be used for "terrorism", "misinformation", "hate speech" — and eventually, any content the state dislikes.
